About... Fuck... Over a decade ago, I was working on a Windows CE handheld and as we were coming all from Linux, we decided for the newly released QML Qt port

It was an absolute nightmare...

I found 3-4 people worldwide having the same problem with the port.

2 russian, 1 Chinese and I sadly don't remember the last one

We were all in the same forum trying to exchange with translations tools available.
Until we found out, that the original contributor made its folder structure part of the Qt build system and you needed to build a path of nearly 20 fucking folders to cross compile this shit

I'm still emotionally connected to my fellow coders, who were just as confused as I was, and I never found this situation again

But it brought me back to the early days of the internet and I really enjoyed it

Edit: as I'm getting old, it could have been more than a decade...
